I saw Harry Reid saying that we’ve argued about abortion for 40 years and it isn’t going to be settled in the next 38 hours. I wanted someone to ask him why it was so different from “settling” health care in the middle of the night.

Good point, do you remember when he said it? And maybe there is a video by chance.

“It’s not realistic to shut down the government on a debate dealing with abortion,” Reid said. “It’s not fair to the American people. We haven’t solved the issue in 40 years. We’re not going to solve it in the next 38 hours. We should not be distracted by ideology. This is a bill that funds the government.”
